Jaipur, November 8 (Udaipur Kiran): A fresh wave of cold has gripped Rajasthan after heavy snowfall in northern states like Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand under the influence of a Western Disturbance. Within just two days, the mercury in several parts of Rajasthan has dropped by up to 10°C, marking the coldest spell of the season so far.
According to the Jaipur Meteorological Centre, the state will continue to experience clear and cold weather for the next one week. On Friday, the minimum temperature fell into single digits in five major cities — Nagaur, Jaipur, Ajmer, Udaipur, and Bharatpur — making it the coldest night of the season in many places.
Nagaur remained the coldest city in the state, recording a minimum temperature of 6.7°C, while Ajmer registered 8.2°C, marking its coldest night of the season. Northern winds were dominant across Bikaner, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Ajmer, and Bharatpur divisions over the past 24 hours, intensifying the chill, especially during morning and evening hours.
Clear Skies, Strong Daytime Sunshine
The cold northwesterly winds have cleared the skies across Rajasthan, improving air quality levels and reducing pollution. Most cities witnessed bright sunshine during the day, leading to slight variations in maximum temperatures.
Barmer recorded the highest daytime temperature at 34.1°C, followed by Jaisalmer (33.3°C), Phalodi (31.8°C), Bikaner (30.8°C), Jodhpur (30.6°C), Pilani (30.5°C), and Tonk (30.1°C). In the remaining parts of the state, the maximum temperature stayed below 30°C.
With the skies expected to remain clear and cold winds continuing, the current winter chill is likely to persist across Rajasthan for at least the next seven days.
